I emailed him offering $15 as-is or $20 if he has the left lockring.
DebW, how could you tell there was no left lockring?

Because it wasn't there. He had a closeup picture of the left side of the bb. Originally Posted by KnottedYet

125mm rear spacing. I can't find a 125mm rear hub in Harris Cyclery's singlespeed hub list.
Is that going to be a problem? I know nothing about wheels...
Glad you saw the missing lockring! I guess that pic was in the original ad. bummer he sold the wheels already.
Oooh, will I get to buy a Surly Jethro Tool? I like Trek's... BTW Trek, be sure you tighten the nuts on the front wheel (and check the back wheel) again before you ride. They really did loosen up on me."If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson

It's likely 126 mm, which was the spacing for 6 speed freewheels. Easy to adjust the hub width by a few mm by chainging the spacers under the locknut. Or within a couple millimeters, you can just spread the frame by hand as you insert the hub. Originally Posted by KnottedYet

Dude selling the Raleigh frame says the left lockring is on the bike.
He'll sell me the frame for $20 without the brakes, $25 with the brakes.

I dunno Knott, he sounds like a real wheeler-dealer with this part by part thang. What are the odds of Recycled Cycles finding you a frame? Originally Posted by KnottedYet

No kidding. I'm afraid it is going to be minus a fork next.

I might be in line for a 50cm Motobecane mixte, with the paint already stripped....
<knot rubs hands gleefully>
I might have to contact Robinson Wheelworks to find out how to find a bottom bracket for the french threading pattern."If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson
